About (푸레) PURĚ
About (푸레) PURĚ
PURĚ is a Sydney-based Korean traditional music practice that shares the beauty of Korean musical heritage through performance and cultural storytelling.
The name PURĚ holds layered meaning.
In English, it reflects the word “pure,” symbolising clarity, sincerity, and authenticity in sound.
In Korean, the name is inspired by traditional colour language and indigo-blue tones associated with natural dyeing practices in Korean material culture, evoking calmness, depth, and a sense of timeless beauty.
Founded to share Korean musical heritage within Australia’s multicultural society, PURĚ creates soundscapes rooted in tradition and resonating in the present. Through the sounds of the Gayageum and Daegeum, PURĚ reflects on identity, connection, and the cultural threads that link past and present.
푸레(PURĚ)는 시드니를 기반으로 활동하는 한국 전통 음악팀으로, 공연과 문화적 스토리텔링을 통해 한국 전통 음악의 아름다움을 전하고 있습니다.
‘푸레’라는 이름은 여러 의미의 층위를 담고 있습니다.
영어로는 'pure(순수한)'라는 단어를 연상시키며, 맑고 진실된 소리와 음악에 담긴 정직함을 상징합니다.
한국어적 맥락에서는 쪽빛과 푸른 색감에 대한 전통적 색채 언어와 염색 문화에서 영감을 받은 이름으로, 고요함과 깊이, 그리고 시간이 축적된 아름다움을 떠올리게 합니다.
푸레는 한국의 음악 유산을 호주의 다문화 사회 속에서 나누고자 하는 뜻에서 시작되었습니다. 가야금과 대금의 소리를 통해 전통에 뿌리를 두면서도 현재의 삶과 공명하는 소리를 만들어가며, 정체성과 연결, 그리고 과거와 현재를 잇는 음악을 전하고 있습니다.
